I have currently decided to test my double monitors in the vertical configuration, and I came across a problem that I had never had before: the input line on my terminal is too far down the screen!
I was wondering if there is a way to make the output scroll downwards, so that the input line stays at the top.
e.g., a normal terminal view looks like this:

and instead I would like to have something like this:

I could not find any such documentation or question on the forums. If anyone has an idea, please let me know! (also if you think it's not possible)
Thanks!
PS: I'm using Ubuntu 12.04

I found one nice tip from which you can start. You must to play with bash:
Source: Reversed Terminal / Command line window.
